Patent GB-190513269-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Thread Frames or Anti-ballooning Devices for Ring Spinning Machines.
Inventor: KARL WEBER
Filed: 1905-06-27
Abstract: 13,269. Weber, K., and M³ller, E. July 8, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Anti-ballooning arrangements; thread - guides.- Ring spinning-frames in which the thread is lapped two or more times round the traveller are provided with anti-ballooning frames a which prevent oscillation of the thread in the vertical part and counteract the effect of centrifugal force, thereby reducing breakage and permitting lighter travellers to be used. The frame is cone-shaped, the generating line being slightly convex or concave, and may be constructed of a spiral wire, a series of rings arranged one above another, a funnel with completely closed sides, or a frame with a conical opening and formed with spiral or parallel interior grooves so as to leave projecting ribs against which the yarn rubs. The frame rises and falls with the ring rail for some work, but in dealing with fine and soft yarns it is operated by an independent cam whereby its distance from the rail is varied so as to vary the effect of the centrifugal force on the yarn between the bottom of the frame and the traveller, and consequently the tension on the yarn passing to the cop according to the diameter in which it is wound. When the frame is funnel-shaped with closed sides, it maybe formed with a helical slot for the introduction of the thread. This can also be effected by forming the frame in several pirts so as to open out in any direction. The frames are hinged so that they may be turned aside or back collectively or independently for doffing.

Abstract: 6655. Walker, H., and Craddy, E. March 19. Filing papers &c.-A machine for stringing or binding paper bags and other articles has a perforated needle i<1>, through which passes the binding- medium, and on to which the bundle of bags is forced by the descent of a plunger d, which is hollowed at its lower end to receive the needle. The plunger d is operated by a treadle or other means through rods and levers f<3>, f<2>, e, c, the lever c bearing against two friction rollers c<1>, and the sleeve a' serving to guide the plunger d in a preferably vertical direction. The string &c. is guided to the needle by pulleys k<4>, k<2> and a retaining-hook, after being passed once round a groove in the drum g to which it is fed through a scroll hook k<1> from the receptacle k. Integral with the drum g are lateral cam-portions g<1>, which normally hold the blade tails h<1> of the scissors h open, but which are provided with slots g<6> to allow the scissors to close under the action of the spring h<3> once every revolution of the drum. The drum is actuated by the forked end of the rod g<2> bearing on the pins g<3> on the drum, the rod g<2> being kept up against the drum by a spring g<30>, and its lower end, which is pivoted at f <30> about one end of the lever f<2>, being capable of sliding in the slot g'. To work the machine, the bundle of bags is placed over the needle i<1> and the treadle depressed, thus causing the lever f to turn about the pivot f<1> and force the rod g<2> upwards. This turns the drum slightly opens the scissors h, and feeds a short length of string to the needle. Further pressure on the treadle brings down the plunger d and forces the needle through the bags. Springs j<1>,bring the plunger d and the lever f<2> back to their original positions. The bags and the end of the string are finally raised off the needle, thus further rotating the drum till the scissors snap into the slots g<6> and sever the string.

Title: Improvements in Starting Switches for Electric Motors.
Filed: 1907-03-21
Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 6809. Moy, E. F., Bastie, P. H., and Moy, Ltd., E. F. March 21. Switches. - In a starting - switch for electric motors, the handle g, Fig. 1, acts through a worm shaft f, a worm-wheel c, Fig. 2, and a clutch d which only comes into holding position after the circuit is completed by means of a push button m, Fig. 1, through an electro-magnet h. The core i of the electro-magnet is linked by a lever and toggle l to a rod s, passing loosely through the worm-wheel e and carrying the movable member of the clutch and the movable contact-arm c. In starting, the push is first depressed, allowing current to pass from the supply terminal u through the electro-magnet h to the terminal w leading to the field winding of the motor. The handle is then turned, bringing the contact-arm c from the horizontal 'off' position, shown in dotted lines, on to the first contact b. Circuit is thus completed through the contact p and the electromagnet h to the terminal w independently of the push m, which can be released. Circuit is also made through the resistances o and an overload coil n to the terminal v leading to the motor armature, and the subsequent turning of the handle cuts out the resistance, winding up, in the same process, a spring k, Fig. 3, which tends to return it to the 'off' position. The friction between the arm c and the contacts b, p produced by the pressure of the electro magnet h is sufficient to keep the arm in any position in which it is left, and also ensures good electric contact. When the clutch magnet fails, either through stoppage of the supply or through the short-circuiting of the magnet by an overloid coil n, the clutch is forced out of engagement by the spring x, Fig. 3, and the spring k returns the arm c to the ' off ' position.
